It feels like a few seconds go by after the holidays, and all of a sudden it’s almost February 14th! If your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner isn’t the easiest to buy for, you’re suddenly in the same predicament of what to buy for Valentine’s Day! I personally think that the best gifts are thoughtful, and/or an experience you can do together! Here, I’ll go through my BEST Valentine’s Day gift ideas that both you and your Valentine can enjoy!
Couples Games
There are so many great card games that you could buy to make life more fun! If you have trouble picking date night spots, you could buy a pack of scratch off cards, which reveals a date idea for you to go on! When you’re in the mood to get to know each other better, you could try the Let’s Get Deep game. Or if you’re in the mood to laugh, you could get Do or Drink, or Tell Me Without Telling Me. These can be an easy way to switch things up, for whichever vibe matches your relationship the best!
Lego Kits
A fun activity to do together, is to buy a lego set of something one or both of you enjoy. Many people, especially guys, might not ever bring up legos, but would be thrilled to get them. Lego has a million different themed sets you could check out, from baseball stadiums to famous art pieces. One of the best Valentines Day gift ideas is to get the flower bouquet lego set, to either build together, or build in advance for your valentine!
Couples Massage
If you are looking for a romantic and relaxing experience together, booking a couples massage or spa treatment can be great Valentine’s Day gift ideas. Especially if this is something you would enjoy, this is a gift both of you can enjoy! Though not everyone enjoys being massaged, maybe there’s another type of wellness treatment you and your valentine can enjoy.
Tickets to a Sports Game, Concert, Musical, or Show Together
Great Valentines Day gift ideas are one that benefits both of you! If you have a favorite sports team, artist, or show in common, why not surprise them with tickets! Even if it’s not your personal favorite, but your valentine is obsessed, take one for the team to give them an experience they’ll never forget.
Wine or Brewery Tasting
A relaxing yet fun experience you can buy for your valentine is a wine or brewery tasting! This could be what you do on the night of Valentines Day, or a romantic date you both can look forward to. I would suggest going to one with outdoor seating, where you can relax and take in the views!
Personalized Deck of Cards
Going viral on Pinterest is a deck of cards that someone designed themselves. On the back, they put pictures from their life that they liked, and it came out extremely adorable. While these probably aren’t the most ideal cards for playing card games, as you can start to memorize which pictures are on which cards, they can be a cute and thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift ideas! If you’re crafty, you can probably design these on Canva yourself, or find someone on Etsy to do it for you.
Custom Matching Lego People
On the Lego website, you can now build your own custom lego person! I’ve seen people recently make their BF/GF and themselves out of legos, then either put them on display in their homes or make them into keychains. I think this is an adorable and thoughtful Valentine’s Day gift idea! Additionally, there are two lego pieces that when they’re stuck together, make a heart! I’ve seen people put each half on a keychain, so you always have the other’s half of their heart.
Custom Pokemon Card
If your partner likes pokemon, a cute gift could be getting a custom card with the two of you on it! My brother’s girlfriend recently got him this for their anniversary, and I thought it was such a good idea! It shows she knows him so well, and also thought of this in advance and was able to get it custom made in time!
Touch Bracelets
A fun gift idea is getting matching touch bracelets! The two bracelets are synced together, so when one person touches their bracelet, the other can feel it too! This can help you feel more connected, or closer together if you live far apart.
Personalized Gifts
An easy yet thoughtful Valentine’s day gift idea is getting something personalized for your partner. Some people lean into their valentine’s favorite hobbies. If they like golf, you can get personalized golf balls with your face on it. You could get jewelry with your initials on it, or to be funny, get a shift designed! Lately, I’ve been seeing people online custom make a “I love my GF” shirt for their boyfriend with their face on it. With a personalized gift, you can either use what your valentine loves, or their sense of humor to come up with a great gift idea.
Make A Basket Of Their Favorite Things
One of the most classic Valentine’s day gift ideas is a gift basket! Go to Target, or a store of your choosing, and find a basket. Then wander around and choose a few items that you think they’d like, or make you think of them. For a girl, some ideas could be a nice blanket, a camera, a candle that smells good, a face mask, and their favorite snacks or candies. For a guy, a new video game, a graphic tee or sweatshirt, a board game or deck of cards, a poker set, protein drinks, or their favorite snacks or candies. Adding a handwritten card goes a long way as well!
Conclusion
When in doubt, buy your valentine their favorite flowers and chocolate! It’s a classic for a reason! Hopefully these Valentine’s day gift ideas helped you decide what to buy, or inspired you for a different gift idea.
